This equation is directly related to Lewin's field theory. Field theory is centered around the idea that a person's life space determines their behavior. [2] Thus, the equation was also expressed as B = f(L), where L is the life space. [4] In Lewin's book, he first presents the equation as B = f(S), where behavior is a function of the whole ...
